    Again....I thought you were leaving after last week? Still shouting at the rain here like that asswipe in the youtube videos begging for people to look at you??

    Mark- are you blind to the notion DieHard might just be right?

    Could give a shit if he's right.....just sick of the pussies that come in here after losses and say "i'm done watching this team" or "i'm done with this season...I'm not going to watch anymore. And they're right back here with the same negative nonsense the very next week.

    Everyone who says fire the coach (with the exception of Walter) never has a suggestion of who the team should hire if they make a change. And then, how long do you give the new front office and staff to turn things around? 1 year? 2 years? Should we just keep changing every single year until we get it right?

    To those who say, I'm done- OK- be done already. You know I'll be here, even if the team ends up 2-14. Unless there's a drastic turnaround- it's looking like yet another lost season in Browns Town.

    It's just human nature Mark- perennial losing breeds negativity. Always some armchair quarterbacks who think they can do better, without offering any suggestions how to improve the situation.

    and perennial whining deserves to be called out for someone being a whiny turd.

    Trade a week-old moldy cheeseburger with pickles for a week-old moldy cheeseburger with tomato?

    Now if you really love tomato and really hate pickles, you may think it's a good idea but they will both make you sick.

    This actually made me laugh...

  • @douche-nozzle said:

    True enough but regardless of the merit of this DC or that OC or this position coach or that head coach, you have to accept that there are two things at work in Cleveland Ohio when it comes to the Browns.

    1. Proven coaches simply are not going to come here.

    Nobody knows what a proven coach is until they prove it.

    Bill Belichick was a proven losing coach before he went to NE.....now everyone is up his asshole about how great he is.

    2. Given point number 1., the lesser of two evils is likely to be that you let the people you have try to make something of what they have rather than fire them and start with another unknown.

    Sure, again, yes, to a point. Take the Belichick case again BB had losing seasons here in 4 out of his 5 years.....But he had just come off his first winning season and was probably building something decent here (though he had no young Tom Brady to carry him here....just an old Vinny). Then Modell undermined him with the whole "move" debacle during the 1995 season and nothing then could stop that team from losing after that. Then, and technically, the sourpuss BB was the HC of the Baltimore Ravens when he was fired by Modell. The settlement that granted Modell a new franchise in B-more and which allowed him to carry certain assets over their, including players, coaches and FO personell came whileBB was still HC. Modell had enough bad publicity all on his own. He didn't want to sour the relationship with his new Johns by having the curmudgeon Belichick around. So he got rid of him ASAP.

    We suspect that had Modell not gotten so deep in debt (remember...he lost 2 franchises because of it: Browns and Ravens) and if the Browns as constituted then had stayed here, and BB remained coach....he may have very well gotten a very, very competitive team on the field. This fits your moral......sometimes you gotta stick with what you got and eventually you will be rewarded. Look at the Bengals and Marvin Lewis. Look at the Cowboys with Tom Landry: 5 losing seasons to begin that franchise, but then they were one of the best with him for years to come.

    Better yet.....think about Chuck Noll. He had losing years his first three years there.

    What if they had dumped Noll after his second....or third losing season?

    So your moral is well taken.

    (I just wish we had guys picking draft picks the way Noll had someone making picks for him......who was that? Noll? Rooney? Someone else?)

  • r.e.t.a.r.d =Retard? lmfao

  • ... but do you know who is the moldy burger? the pickle? the tomato? 😳

  • I would take a bag of stale chips for JFF..

  • Yes. Definitely

  • Why trade when you can just sign him once he's cut?

    Correct. He helicopters into the defensive line gets a concussion and fumbles the ball! That takes guts!

    It is the effort I saw out of McCown that I applaud him for. I would like to see that effort from more of the team. I don't think anyone had any illusions McCown was Tom Brady but he has came here and gave 100 percent effort. The big letdown for me is the defense which O'Neil confidently stated going into this season we would stop the run. (Wrong). Next would be our over rated offensive line. We have too many underperformers on the team, McCown is not one of them. I never expected to rely on him to win games for us, I believed coming into the season our defense was going to win games.

    At this point at 2-5 I would play Manziel because it is time to know if he is the future QB or not. I don't think he is but as a Browns fan I would love to be proved wrong.

    i agree with everything except playing manziel. mccown has more heart than joe thomas and joe haden at this point in my eyes. he's a gamer and not at all the reason we are losing games.

    this team looks soft and plays soft. and either it's a lack of talent from players or lack of talent from coaches.

    but firing everyone doesn't solve the problem. what does solve the problem is start finding ways to take away money from some of these people. then let's see what happens.

  • Face it boys depending on which guy you love and which guy you don't love every fucking thing he does will be heroic or stupid. Anybody remember the McCown haters bitching about what a moron he was for doing that?

    And let me bore you once more and repeat that as long as the coach allows the offensive line and defensive line and the defensive backs and the running backs perform as poorly as they are it won't matter if its a 23 year old Joe Namath or me playing quarterback.

    (it's a lot like politics, we pick the guys we like and then think of reasons we don't like the other guys)

    Fuck you and your fantasy league. A Browns fan would NEVER and I repeat NEVER do bullshit like that. Enjoy your fucking fantasy league wins.

    Mark- boatloads of Browns fans have given up on this version of the team. If they can make money on Fan Duel betting against the Browns, I applaud them. I don't do Fantasy, but my pal says participants have dropped the Browns defense (which was supposed to be good) like a lead balloon.

    McCown may have more heart- but like the Tin Man, he has no brain. Said it elsewhere- to succeed, Josh needs a running game and great pass blocking- to date, he's gotten neither. #2 in sacks taken. Not all his fault- if the smurfs can't get open. Of course Farmer thinks drafting guys like Mayle instead of Odell Beckam is the ticket to a winning record.

    Insight into the conservative mind?

    More than a few McCown boosters questioned the wisdom of the dive that turned helicopter, Steve...

  • he's not the first qb to get helicoptered on a goal line dive. elway and young if i remember correctly.....

    difference is they held onto the ball BUT they also didn't get hit helmet to helmet in a blatant flagrant foul that wasn't called either.

    You fucking tripping. He was a dimwit who dived like he was a tight end.
